Tribute to President Mandela

The Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa joins all South Africans, Africans and indeed all citizens of the world in mourning the passing of the global icon of democracy and human rights, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

As we mourn, we also celebrate this great man who was committed to human rights and the dignity of all, a man of compassion and humility. As an Institute committed to working for democracy and development in Africa, we draw lessons set by his example not only to South Africa and Africa, but to the world. EISA will continue to be inspired by the ideals and example set by Nelson Rolihlala Mandela and his generation of selfless and principled leaders for whom political power was an instrument used for the service of the people. Hamba Kahle Madiba.
